Date: 6/5/10 2:59 PM I made a work cap w/side and neck flap last year w/out a pattern and used camophlage fabric (inside out) but would like to find a nice light weight nylon or such that would deflect sun and be light-weight. I know JoAnn does not carry this type of fabric. Has anyone got some of this type online. -- Edited on 6/5/10 6:03 PM -- ------ It is common sense to take a method and try it.

Although the fabric isn't online you can order the catalogue and swatches (which I have done). Also, I find this thread on Fabric Sources to be extremely useful. There are several sources listed for outdoor/sports fabric.

They appear to have some nice outdoor lightweight nylon that is reasonably priced. I only orered 1 yard until I see if I really like it. The swatch pack is $4 which I may order too. I have saved the fabric source listing to my tracking web so I can refer back to it. Sooo many choices. ------ It is common sense to take a method and try it.

It was a nasty browny green and "plastic" appearing. It was listed as a uv protectant nylon fabric. I know I should have ordered a swatch first (lesson learned) . I returned it today, costing me over $5 postage. Someonefrom Rockywoods finally called me back 24 hrs later to give me a return code and tell me ther was a 30% restocking charge. So out of my $8.99 + $3.00 shipping I may get nothing back. Needless to say I will not be using Rockywoods again. ------ It is common sense to take a method and try it.
